A major fire broke out at an electronic goods warehouse near Buddha Park in Patna’s Kotwali police station area on Friday, causing panic. Thick smoke and flames were seen rising from the premises, prompting several fire tenders to rush to the spot.
According to information, the fire reportedly started in a tin-sheet storage area constructed on the rooftop of the warehouse’s five-storey building. The blaze is believed to have started during welding work. As the warehouse contained electronic goods, officials feared the fire could spread rapidly.
Firefighters launched an operation and continued spraying water to bring the flames under control. Police and fire department personnel remained at the site while efforts to extinguish the blaze continued.
No casualties have been reported so far. Authorities have yet to assess the extent of property damage caused by the fire. The exact cause and circumstances are also being investigated by the relevant teams.
